Another Gen3 gone

Wassup everybody, well some bad news for another Gen3 Camry, this time with my car. Just had an accident and the car is totaled.

I was driving and there was some black ice when my car skidded to the right very hard and hit the rail and then to the left.

I am OK but my Camry is not. Thank God I was wearing my seatbelt.

I will take some pics tomorrow and post them here. The car is not worth fixing. I still have to check the engine to see in what condition it is in. I will post it for sale maybe tomorrow.

I bought the car exactly 2 years ago with 100K miles. it has 137700 miles as of today. It's a 93 XLE V6.

I am still loyal to Toyota and my next car will be a Toyota.

Good night.

Given that Camry is one of the best selling cars in the US, the probability of one crashing would be greater. Toyota sells some 400 thousand per year.

Its not the "Camry" in general, but specifically modded gen 3 Camry's that frequent this board. Mine was one of them, I was hit twice in two months.

Thank you all. Today morning I woke up and didn't feel a thing. No pain, no bruises, no injuries. Thank god.

Here are some photos of the car. I'm still thinking about my next yota. It could be another Camry.

My mechanic checked it out today and said it's not worth fixing.
